[Fillipo Simone]

So, the summer window's are closing.

Now we'll have to wait till january to see a new...defender?
Anyway, the 351 pages of the summer thread payed out so,..just post here all rumours, possible and impossible transfers, dreams, hopes..

[Rossoneri7]

Filipo, the window will open and close and the situation will remain the same. Not because I wouldn't want someone in particular, but because there has already been a HUGE change within the squad, with a lot of top top players .. I mean if you thought Madrid had a Galactico period, what is this !!

I doubt a top CB will come, I doubt a top GK will come and @kurt, Carlo is a top coach, whether you agree or disagree the man has trophies to prove it. Maybe now you wont budge from your assumptions, but with time when he is gone and all of Europe's best are after him, and when Milan fail and start jumping from one coach to another, then you will remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ... I'v been through the post Capello era, so I know how much time took for us to lift the CL again ... And until you go through the same experience, then and only then will you not take this coach for granted.

We do have the stars now, let's just hope they win more than Madrids did!

He does have the trophies, I won't and can't deny that, but I do put it alot down to the stars he had. I'd argue he didn't win enough considering the players he's had.

I support a team outside of the media limelight, a team that isn't considering World class, or even great. I know what it's like to appreciate things, I don't need to have gone through the post-Capello era of Milan to know how to appreciate a coach. Villa were literally 5 minutes from relegation no less than 5 years ago so I know very well what it's like to have one bad season after another.

I also have confidence in alot of the players that we have to be able to finish in the top 4. I personally think Carlo is holding the team back. We have great potential in attack, but he won't utilise it.

I don't agree about Carlo. Trophies aren't guaranteed. Even if you have the best team of all times you have to work very hard to win titles.
As for the appreciation thing. Much depends on the given expectations. But in general supporting Milan is like a holiday when you're a Bochum supporter.

Then I don't think Carlo worked hard enough. He had great players and should have won much more, he needs to take just as much blame as the players for not winning enough in my opinion.

Tell me about it. But when you're a supporter of an 'average' club it makes winning something the most amazing feelin gin the World. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Other than Milan I support Torquay United (hometown), we're 18th in the Blue Square Premier. That's 4 divisions down from the Premiership for the people that didn't know. It's not even classed as in 'The Football League'.

Therefore, I have no idea what it's like to support an 'average' club because there just completely S... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So yeah it is kinda nice to 'follow' Milan on-top as well.

I find it more.. 'rewarding' supporting a smaller club, and if Torquay even got promoted a few times that'd be amazing, while you can't get that sort of satifsfaction supporting a top team.

It is nice supporting a better team, you get to see top players and teams, but you almost expect success, and when it doesn't come it's a disappointment, so there's very little to look forward to alot of the time.

Can't believe Thiago Neves moved to hamburg! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You have a point ... As there is always room for progress when you support a team thriving to get into Europe once again and competing with the top teams in the league (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It must mean a lot when you actually beat the top teams.

Then again it is an even bigger satisfaction when you support a team, then follow it while it makes history and in the end you feel so satisfied, so overwhelmed that you can always look at the club you support and admired in awe ..

My local team ? Bah, Cap'n Jack Sparrow can tell you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
